I know I suffered from the same problem for years because I was never confident in my ability to write decent content. I had lots of ideas but always struggled to actually get the words out. I think this was based largely in how bad I was at writing in school and had a prebuilt bias of "I can;t do that, I'm not good at it". when I sat back and realized that I sucked at design when I started and it was a skill I had to work hard at things received a new perspective. Overtime I gained a lot more confidence. I would never say content is my strong suit, but I'm willing to fake it till I make it.
